A custom web application is software that lives in a browser and solves a problem a template cannot. Not a website with a login. A real app, with its own data model, user accounts, and behavior.
Typically used for
- Internal business tools that replace spreadsheets and manual coordination
- SaaS products with subscription billing and multi-tenant data
- Customer portals where clients log in to see their own information
- Marketplaces, directories, or two-sided platforms
- Workflow tools for a specific industry where no off-the-shelf option fits
How I scope it
Spec first, build second. We define the data model, the user flows, and the must-haves before any code is written. Built on Next.js plus Supabase or a similar modern stack so it is yours, deployable anywhere, and inspectable end to end.
WHY THIS PRICE
What you're actually paying for
A custom web application is software. Not a website with a login. A real app with its own data model, business logic, user surface, and integrations. Five times the work of a website because every screen has functional behavior, not just content.
What's in the work
- Spec: data model, user flows, must-haves
- Database schema design
- Authentication, authorization, account flows
- Business logic and rules
- Frontend: every screen, every state, every interaction
- API layer between frontend and backend
- Third-party integrations (payments, email, analytics)
- Admin tools for you to manage the app
- Deployment, scaling, monitoring
The value it adds
A custom web app is owned software. Not a SaaS subscription with someone else's roadmap. The cost is upfront; the asset compounds in value as your business grows around it.
